Pleasanton/Dublin Soroptimist Wants to Give Awards to Teen Girls Ages 14 to 17
Pleasanton/Dublin Soroptimist Club is offering two awards for local women — the Violet Richardson Award and the Women's Opportunity Award.
Are you a young woman between the ages of 14 and 17 who volunteers in your
community or school? Who sees challenges instead of obstacles? Hope instead of
despair? If you are a young woman who believes in the power of volunteer action, then you may be eligible to win a Soroptimist Violet Richardson Award.
The Violet Richardson Award recognizes young women who make the community and world a better place through volunteer efforts such as: fighting drugs, crime and violence; cleaning up the environment; and working to end discrimination and poverty. Volunteer actions that benefit women or girls are of particular interest.
Soroptimist is an organization of women whose members volunteer in their communities, often working on the same problems that you do. Although we realize that volunteering is its own reward, we also know it feels good to be recognized for your actions. And that’s why we sponsor this award.
Contact Sofia Osborne for an application at sofiaosborne@comcast.net or 925- 846-1919.
The deadline is Dec. 15th.
